to the training base on Da Shu Hua (traditional spraying iron craftsmanship) to

stage. The tradition has been preserved for more than 500 years, and it was
listed as an intangible cultural heritage of Hebei province. Using a wooden
ladle soaked in water for three days, folk artists perform this stunt by
throwing arcs of burning molten metal (at a temperature of about 1600 C)
through the air that bursts into glowing sparks onto a cold and hard wall,
